Hi,

My Girlfriend was diagnosed last year. Grade 3, Stage 3B, ER+. PR-, HER2+ at 31. 7 Positive Nodes of 17. She had FEC-T 6, Masectomy, and Radiotherapy. Also another 9 lots of Herceptin to go.

Will be starting Tamoxifen in two weeks time. Also probably Ovary suppression as well.

I've been looking at supplements which will help. So far I've got Vitamin D3 5000iu pd. I've got some liquid calcium 1200mg, but in the ingredients it lists soy lecithin. Is this OK? I thought Soy was a big no for any ER+ ladies.

I've also looked to get some Glucosamine HCI 1500mg with Chondroitin Sulphate 1200mg, but Shellfish is listed as an ingredient for the Glucosamine. I also thought this was a big no no.

Any help with this would be great.

Thanks
